Hot off the press are our IGCSE results which are also outstanding and further details will follow! We wish all our students and our community a happy, successful and healthy 2022-23.

We have had a fantastic start to the new academic year with excited students involved in their houses as well meeting their teachers for 2022-23 and engaged in their lessons. There has been a really exciting buzz around the school! As usual students have been involved in many activities over the summer with some gaining experience as interns in a variety of different professions and others engaged in volunteer and charity work. Their stories will follow in the coming weeks.
